THE Office of the President and Cabinet has warned the public to be vigilant against fraudsters impersonating Vice President General (Rtd) Dr Constantino Chiwenga and his wife, Colonel Miniyothabo Baloyi Chiwenga.
In a statement, Deputy Chief Secretary for Presidential Communications, Mr George Charamba, said the imposters are using, among other lines, telephone numbers from South Africa and Nigeria to contact citizens and foreigners with the intention of soliciting money, services or personal information.
Mr Charamba further clarified that Vice President Dr Chiwenga and his wife do not operate accounts on X (formerly Twitter), urging the public to disregard any profiles claiming to represent them or purporting to communicate their views.
He called on individuals to verify any communication allegedly originating from the Vice President or his household, emphasising that all official correspondence follows established Government channels.
Authorities are now working with telecommunications regulators in Nigeria and South Africa to track down and bring the perpetrators to justice.
